IELTS Speaking · Academic and General Training
Practise IELTS Speaking with Dodo as your examiner
Part 1 quick questions, Part 2 cue cards with a minute to prepare, Part 3 discussion, or the full test in a row. Dodo listens, follows up on what you say, and gives you a band.
How does IELTS Speaking practice work in Acedmi?
Dodo asks each question out loud in an examiner's voice. You answer by speaking (or typing), and Dodo asks natural follow-ups based on what you said. At the end you get an estimated band for Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Pronunciation, plus better versions of your weakest sentences and words to use next time.

Questions
IELTS Speaking: good to know
Dodo asks each question out loud in an examiner's voice. You answer by speaking (or typing), and Dodo asks natural follow-ups based on what you said. At the end you get an estimated band for Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Pronunciation, plus better versions of your weakest sentences and words to use next time.
Yes. You can switch to the keyboard for any answer. If a whole practice is typed, pronunciation is not marked and your band comes from the other three criteria.
Dodo works from the text of what you said, so pronunciation is estimated cautiously from how clearly your speech was recognised, and never more than half a band above your other scores.
